In my last spreadsheet, I failed to take into account the fact that 50
percent of weight is lost during composting. Ie: A ton of cardboard,
composted, yields a HALF of a ton. So this version takes that into account.
(I can send the actual spreadsheet to whoever might request it).
I am working with $30 per ton, but that might be optimistic.
I also am not sure I have the formula correct for the amount of land needed.
In fact, the whole thing seems awfully rosy.
The "bales" I refer to are bales compacted by a compactor.
I welcome "competitors" who pursue my business model and put all of that
cardboard to better use than filling landfills!
